Description

    FIELD
  • The invention relates generally to a medical image acquisition system and method of use, the acquisition system acquiring, compressing, and converting standard analog or digital video signals from medical equipment to digital images. The system adapted for receiving and transmitting still or motion medical images instantaneously along with audio steaming data.
    • BACKGROUND
  • In the past, viewing captured medical image data was accomplished in less than real time, that is to say the image transmission has periods of sporadic or inconstant operation from the transmitting device to the receiving device. Present applications would require a user to wait for image generation, typically seconds and then possibly minutes for the image to become available at a central node for viewing. Real time or instantaneous describes an application which a computer program responds to stimuli within some small upper limit of response time (typically milliseconds).
  • The traditional way of capturing an image on a medical imaging machine commonly called a modality, generally consisted of an operator or technician first conducting a scan. Then using the modality to save the image, in still or video format, into the modality memory or into a main image storage database. Soon afterward perhaps downloading the image into a hospital database such as a PACS system, Picture Archiving and Communications System, for storage and later retrieval. The doctor would then access the PACS system to retrieve the image, the doctor at that time would call up the image, view and review the image and conceivably develop a diagnosis based on the information from the image. The advantage of the present invention accomplishes all these tasks in real time.
  • In order to provide quick and efficient medical care, information such as medical imaging must be presented to a consulting physician in faster time so the physician can make a timely diagnosis for the patient or make decisions about doing further imaging or possible therapy while the patient is still at the imaging station. In some cases the patient and physician may not be in the same location and the physician may find himself providing a diagnosis apart from the patient whether that physician is at another part of the hospital or at a remote location. The present invention allows a physician to view image data from any computer having a hospital LAN or Local Area Network connection or an Internet connection including a wireless network connection. A diagnosis or instruction function is provided in which a real time human conversation is taking place along with viewing of images from the modality. The system also allows for multi consultant availability and querying providing a multi-party conference capability.
  • Moreover many of the prior art devices do not supply an efficient cost effective solution to the problem of non real time image processing and communication, the inventors of this invention have filed a long felt need in the imaging arts.
    • SUMMARY
  • This invention provides an apparatus and method of using and viewing real time instantaneously static and dynamic medical images, obtained from any medical imaging modality. The system can network real time images from one location to the next. Many times clinicians such as physicians have the need to view live and historic images to make proper diagnoses. More frequently the need arises for physicians to communicate images and voice data from remote locations for the purposes of making remote diagnoses and for training of staff in clinical settings, when the physician (or student staff) is not necessarily located in a traditional hospital setting.
  • It is an object of this invention to provide an apparatus and method of providing real time images along with audio communications in real time. The invention is directed to a device that can be used for the purpose of allowing an operator, mostly a technician of any medical imaging device to consult with a specialist, typically a doctor located anywhere a computer can be accessed. Medical imaging encompasses the full range of medical fields. Among the many medical imaging fields are ultrasound, CT/CAT scan or computerized tomography, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, MRI or magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine, PET or positron emission tomography, echocardiorgaphy ultrasound, angiography and microscopy.
  • More particularly the invention uses present technology of today's computers, video auto-sensing frame capture electronic circuit boards, capture, compression and transmission software and point to point transmissions of the captured signal. In further detail the system applies existing digital technologies, acquiring an analog or digital video signal, transforming that signal into digital image data, compressing and transmitting the data over a computer network and using voice over internet protocol (IP), commonly known and used in the medical industry. Transmitting an image from one location to another over the network in real time, converting the image from a video format to a digital image format.
  • It is further object of this invention to frame grab images from selected medical devices, acquiring the image at the video rate of the modality and transmit those images at a speed such that the images can be viewed in real time, instantly. The speed of transmission can vary however depending on items such as processor speed, compression type, network bandwidth, and the complexity of the imagery. The acquisition software used in combination with the invention described herein makes up the system which acquires, compresses and sends the signal to the receiving device. Image transfer can be lossless or lossy, according to the user's settings. Multicasting, the ability to send data to more than one receiver at the same time, is possible from each video acquisition device (VAD), the system can provide access to all VAD's anywhere on the network.
  • It is a further object of this invention to include many features such as: non intrusive video capture and transmission for remote viewing, capture from any analog or digital video source, including s-video, composite color or monochrome, component RBG, DVI and HDMI. As well as the ability to preserve the original video source resolution for transmission to receiver locations, enabling a remote viewer to see the image at the same resolution as the original modality. The invention also has the ability to multicast video, modality audio and voice over existing data networks like local area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WAN), the Internet and broadcast to multiple receiving units in the same network group. Point to point transmissions over existing data networks, broadcast to any selected Internet protocol (IP) address. In addition the systems can AVI record functionality for multicast and point to point. AVI is Audio/Video Interleaved, a computer movie file format. The system also has the ability to record the video and audio streams at high resolution. Also available is audio conferencing between multiple sites.
  • One illustration of this invention embodies a Streamview™ software module that can be integrated with any software application program as shown in the pictorial FIG. 5. that presents a live video window on a computer screen. Streamview™, has the capability of intercepting the video in that window and transmitting it to another software application program running on anotheromputer. The illustrated embodiment is comprised of two software application programs, one called TIMS™ (Tele-medicine Imagine Management System), the other called TIMS Consultant. TIMS is a server type program on a single computer that is acquiring the medical video signal and transmitting video and voice signals to a client program, TIMS Consultant is on a remote computer that is receiving the video and voice over IP transmission. Both programs use the StreamView module to manage the video and audio data streams. The TIMS computer is located with the medical imaging device or in a nearby facility. A remote consultant physician uses the TIMS Consultant application installed on any computer equipped with speakers, microphone and connected to a computer network. All communication, video and audio, is accomplished over the network. The TIMS Consultant computer can be located anywhere there is LAN or Internet connection. The system enables the Consultant, to view the images from the medical imaging system and discuss with the technician operating the medical device that is acquiring the images the best steps to take in the examining procedure. This allows for expert guidance to be given during the imagining session providing a potentially faster diagnosis and increasing the likelihood that the images taken are most useful. In this embodiment TIMS provides the real-time video and audio communication as well as a method of recording and transmitting images in DICOM format. DICOM, Digital Imagining and Communications in Medicine, is a medical imaging standard common in the medical industry. The embodiment can serve as the connection point between any medical imaging system and a hospital PACS, patient archival and communications system. The primary capability of the TIMS program is to connect older non-DICOM equipment to a hospital network, allowing imaging studies to be stored in PACS. It can also be used to connect DICOM compatible equipment if it desired to use some features contained in TIMS that are not available on the imaging system such as the TIMS Consultant feature.
  • It is further object of this invention to supply the necessary apparatus and method to send and receive medical images in real time as well as at the same time receive and send an audio stream. It is yet another object of this invention to provide and apparatus and method that is cost effective, simple, lightweight, long lasting and durable.
  • It is a further object of this invention to provide an apparatus and method that is simple by design and efficient in method and use.
  • The principles preferred embodiments and modes of operation of the present invention have been described in the forgoing specification. The invention which is intended to be protected herein, however, is not to be construed as limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, since these embodiments are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive. Variations and changes may be made by others without departing from the spirit of this invention. Accordingly, it is expressly intended that all such variation and changes which fall within the spirit and scope of the claims be embraced thereby.
